About Gurpreet

Gurpreet Gill works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, depression and self-esteem using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience in the field.

Gurpreet uses a client-centred style to help people talk through difficult feelings and make practical changes. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on manageable steps they can try between appointments. She draws on CBT to look at thinking patterns, ACT to clarify values and actions, and DBT skills for managing intense emotions.

Her experience includes working with people affected by trauma, abuse, bereavement and relationship problems, as well as issues such as anger, self-harm and work-related stress. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating-related concerns and addiction-related difficulties. Gurpreet pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues when these are relevant to current problems.

Sessions aim to include clear goals, practical techniques and space to reflect on progress. The counsellor will adapt pacing and methods to each person’s needs while keeping discussions straightforward and focused on daily life. Progress is reviewed regularly to ensure the work remains relevant.

Gurpreet works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are invited to follow the service’s booking steps to arrange an initial session and discuss which approaches are likely to be most helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and remote working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small, consistent actions towards those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and low mood when someone wants clearer priorities and practical steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression and managing everyday problems.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can help with anger and self-harm urges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will agree which methods to try and how quickly to move between them.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family life and work commitments and can reduce travel time. Shorter check-ins by phone or sessions without video can suit busy days or lower bandwidth, while longer video sessions can allow for more in-depth therapeutic work.
